Until an autopsy is performed, Carter said the police department will not positively identify the man and cannot inform any family. Carter said that an autopsy was planned for Wednesday.

He said if the autopsy IDs the man as the resident of the home, the police believe he lived alone.

He also said until the medical examiner’s report, he did not want to speculate as to how the man died.

“We’re just treating it as suspicious,” Carter said.

The Beulaville Police Department is treating the death of a man found Monday night as suspicious, according to authorities.

As of Tuesday morning, Beulaville Police Chief Joey Carter said the police had not positively identified the man who was found around 9 p.m. Monday on Thomas Street, but were waiting to hear from the medical examiner and results from an autopsy.

A man found dead in a Beulaville home on Monday may have died a few weeks ago, according to officials.

“The person had been deceased for a period of time,” Beulaville Police Chief Joey Carter said.

The body was found at around 9 p.m. Monday night in a home on Thomas Street. Police had not positively identified the man as of Tuesday, but were waiting to hear from the medical examiner and for results from an autopsy.

“We just know that the victim was male,” Carter said.

Police say they were called to the home on a welfare check by a friend who had not heard from the man in a while.

“We were notified by a friend of his to go to the residence to check on him,” Carter said.

Until an autopsy is performed, Carter said the police department will not positively identify the man and cannot inform any family. Carter said that an autopsy was planned for Wednesday.

He said if the autopsy IDs the man as the resident of the home, the police believe he lived alone.

He also said until the medical examiner’s report, he did not want to speculate as to how the man died.
